kiss and tell



What´s your pet´s name? (Or just a favorite.) Cows, chickens and sheep also count...
This is Coco (Chanel). Otherwise known as CocoNUT, Coco chip, The Cocster, and Tontita (Just look at that face;))

Thanks Aimee for reminding me how much fun these are!

P.S. Check out Kate´s latest post. It´s a classic! You can find it here.

¡Dos besos muy gordos!

That is one darn cute dog. And how you captured his face and personality. It looks like he's saying, See how cute I can be? Trouble? I'm no trouble at all. Just a little guy who wants to sleep on your bed. We'll get to the garbage can later.

Elisa said...

My last pet was a cockatiel bird. His name was Marty.sometimes I called him MARTIN!!!when he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

tanïa said...

Unbelievable! I had to look twice...Coco seems to have a german sister called Paula! ;o)
You can see her nose here:

And I also did a papercut from her:

I had two dogs before, rest in peace my beloved: Momo and Joscha and a cat named Lissy.

Janis said...

Two you haven't heard about ... Sasha is sometimes Sashala, Nackers. Rosie is sometimes Rosette, Kiku-san.
Happy Weekend Jane! Besos!

Just LOOK at that face! Is she an English pointer mix? We rescued a desert mutt a year and a half ago (she graces my blog as the Hound of Love) and she has the same face- I think she's English pointer/lab/hound something mix. And she is the sweetest, most darling pup I've ever had. Her name is Dolly (Parton). Our corgi is Mac, but everyone calls him The Biscuit. I had an old paint horse named Mr. Piebald, and that probably takes the cake as far as pet names go.

Have a great weekend!

Woof! That is one sweet looking pup. I had a similar one growing up. Our favorite animal here is tie between dog and cat.

Joanna Jenkins said...

Growing up, we had a dog name Smiley. I liked that name.

And any dog named Coco Chanel is a dog I'd love :-)

Happy weekend,
jj

caitlin said...

We just had a bassett hound that died in December. His name was Roamin'. Such a droopy cute little dog. (Who also peed on new visitors out of sheer excitement.)

Bichos da Matos said...

Moura is my dog, but I guess you know her;) Coco is gorgeous, Happy weekend!

KathyA said...

We had four cats: Bernadette, Murphy Black, Jezebelle, and Azrielle. Only Azzie remains.

Emily Young said...

What an adorable expression! I love the pink spot on his nose... my first dog had a pink dot just like that, and we used to say it was like a dab of strawberry ice cream.

Our 10-year-old basenji is called Lady - also known as Ladybug, because she likes to bug people. And other dogs. And anything, so long as she gets attention... Her name was based on a really wonderful book called "Goodbye My Lady." Fun summer read, if you're looking for one!

Kate Coveny Hood said...

Ha! You linked to me.

We have no pets right now - but my childhood dog was a poodle named Cricket (not the shaved, fancy kind though - he kind of looked like a shaggy black lamb).

liza said...

I hope you have that photo blown up and framed in some awesome place in your home because it is REALLY GREAT!!!
Our pet is 19-yr-old cat named Ticonderoga (Tike for short)... yellowish orange tabby, like the color of the pencil, hence the name.
My favorite pet name story happened when we were teenagers. My sister arrived home after a year in CA... she had two cats in tow. Their very cool names were McGuill and Chicago. They promptly ran away. A year later we learned they'd moved to the neighbors' house down the (country) road, and their names were now Bozo and Princess. Seriously?!?

Margret said...

too sweet! I really want a dog, and when we move and get one I'm going to call him/her Cricket. We also have two cats, Muppet and Fraggle.

Cobalt Violet said...

Coco is so sweet!
I had Dior the French Lop bunny in high school that got so huge I'd put him on a leash with a dog harness.

Now? Beatrice. She is my 9 year old Senegal parrot named for Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. (Her full name is actually Beatrice Elizabeth Mayfield -Keller.) When you walk in the door she says, "Hi, Baby!"

Nicky said...

She is adorable. I wish I could have one just like her....

Memories Of Mine said...

Coco is adorable, my dogs name is sally but my daughter what a dog and she wants to call it Romeo.

Leslie said...

Coco is the most adorable creature. No wonder you love her. Your post inspired me to sing the praises of my little friend. I linked back to you (and Coco). Because Coco deserves her share of the praises. Thanks for a fun idea!

We have had dogs and other animals up till recently. Dogs were called Pity, Pepe, Gos and Lisa, Siamese cat was called Sherezade, Grey Guinea Parrot is called Tiberio (and he talks all the time, he is such a a clever fellow!), years ago we also had a gorgeous rose breasted cockatoo called Willy Willy who was loyal to us till a huge flock of his mates flew over our house and decided to join them.
Then there was Duffy the rosella, Agustin the budgie, Ingrid the dwarf seagull, Tom the hamster and Josefina the spider.
Not to mention the rest of the animals that were around but neved got a name....
